He wants engagement. He has a boring little life, in a boring little cubicle and MAGA is his little club where he feels important and smart. And yeah, it is sorta annoying to scroll through 5 pages of “the fbi did jan 6, polio vaccines bad!”

I fully agree with this but I also agree with Wayward's point.

Debunk his bullshit by all means Wayward, more power to you. You have far more patience for dealing with horseshit than I.

Bravo!

The one that still shocked me that didn’t really get ton of attention considering who it was was Barbara Bush.

The daughter of a former GOP prez actively campaigning at people’s front doors for the Dem candidate is nuts

ok so now you're raising the price of your home by $50k, not $25k. And still only getting an increase in $2500 in downpayment. And this for a home that's worth significantly more than the likely market that most of these qualified first time buyers would be shopping in.

Do you see now how a $25k subsidy leaves these first-time homebuyers much better off, even if the price of homes increases moderately? That they would still have the opportunity to be a homeowner that they would never have had otherwise? We're talking about paycheck to paycheck types who pay their rents on time, but don't have $25k in savings, who can now put a downpayment down on a $400k house that they'd never have been able to do otherwise.

and remember, this is taking at face value your theory that $25k for certain qualified first time buyers has any significant direct impact on the housing market in the first place.

You seriously don't see the inflationary impact of this on a market already at ATH?

Obviously adding more buyers to the market will have some inflationary impacts. But a) these are much less than what you first claimed they'd be, and b) these first time buyers would STILL be in a much better situation even with some inflationary impact on house prices - they would still actually get to be homeowners instead of renters.

(in fact, as now homeowners, they would even start to benefit from that inflationary impact!)
